Proximity Waypoint List

The second waypoint submenu list available from the ‘Points’ tab is the ‘Proximity’ list, which lets you

deﬁne an alarm circle around a stored waypoint position, and can be used to help you avoid reefs, rocks,
or restricted waters. Up to ten waypoints may be listed, with a maximum alarm radius of 99.99 nautical or
statute miles or kilometers. If a proximity alarm circle overlaps with an existing alarm circle, a ‘Proximity
Overlaps Another Proximity Waypoint’ message will appear. Since the unit will only alert for one of the
overlap points, use caution when navigating in these areas. If you enter an alarm circle overlap, you will
only be alerted to the close

t proximity waypoint.
